Chapter 408: Leading the Team Personally (102/105)
Three thousand tanks, plus nine thousand female soldiers, are Eugen's cards.
In addition, other female soldiers have also undergone formal military training, the reason why Eugen gathered so many soldiers at the beginning was to select as many tank drivers as possible in the case of a large base, and now the tank drivers have been selected, but other female soldiers can still remain in the army and become infantry or other arms.
At the same time, they can also become alternate soldiers for tank drivers, and when there is a vacancy in the future, these female soldiers will be put on top.
The results of the training of these female soldiers were not satisfactory, and they could not be used as infantry, so Eugen ordered them all to stay in the city of Lebour, and the battle outside was handed over to the 3,000 tanks.
Eugen was confident that with 3,000 tanks, the army of the Ottoman Empire was nothing at all, that is, a plate of appetizers that could be easily swallowed in one bite.
And this time, Eugen also has to drive a tank himself, he has loved this powerful weapon of war since he was a child, and he dreams of having a chance to drive it.
Now the tanks are ready-made, or they are produced at factories under their own name, and Eugen, of course, want to try this feeling.
Stepping into a tank, in the same tank as him, were two of the most outstanding women in training, who first saluted Eugen respectfully, and then sat down in their seats.
One of the two female soldiers was in charge of driving, the other was in charge of firing guns, and Eugen was in the position of machine gunner.
He did not systematically learn to drive tanks and fire guns, so the position of machine gunner can be said to be the most suitable for him.
Entering the tank, Eugen sat down in his seat, with a confident smile on his face, and said, "Alright, guys, let's go, let those sons of bitches see how good we are." ”
Orders were transmitted to each tank through the radio equipment loaded on the tanks, and with the roar of mechanical activation, three thousand tanks began to move slowly south.
Poor Ottoman Turkish regiments, they don't know what kind of horrible scene awaits them at this moment.
Eugen sat in the wheelhouse, keeping in touch with everyone in the team through radio equipment, a condition that no other army could match.
This means that even in the middle of battle, Eugen can accurately and timely deliver orders to the ears of every soldier.
Radio equipment, which is also the latest research result of the First Research Institute of the city of Leber, has taken almost no detours from research and development to manufacturing finished products to mass production under the guidance of Eugen.
Eugen's mind was filled with a treasure trove of knowledge that, when supported by enough power, could burst into unimaginable results.
At the moment, these three thousand tanks are the best proof of this.
The reason why there were only 3,000 tanks was not because the production capacity of the 1st Iron and Steel Plant reached the ceiling, but because the number demanded by Eugen was only 3,000.
In Eugen's view, this amount is enough to solve the current problems, and there is no need to produce more.
After all, the Type A tank was the first batch of tanks, and there were still some flaws in the design, and the production of the next batch of tanks would have to be carried out again after these flaws were solved and a more powerful and complete tank was designed.
These 3,000 tanks were also incorporated into a legion by Eugen, the name is called the mechanized corps, just from this name, it can be seen that Eugen has a lot of ambitions, he wants more than just these tanks, in Eugen's view, this mechanized corps must have a variety of strong modern weapons, tanks, just the first batch.
The A-type tank advanced at a very fast speed, even in more complex areas, it was able to reach about 60 kilometers per hour.
This speed has greatly exceeded the speed of the warhorse, and because the tank has a large amount of fuel inside, the tank can maintain full speed for a whole day and a night at a time before it loses power due to fuel exhaustion.
This kind of endurance has been able to ensure that the tank can meet the current combat needs without worrying about suddenly running out of fuel.
Maintaining a high speed of advance, finally, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, the tank corps led by Eugen and the Ottoman Turkish corps met.
The battlefield slowly unfolded on the great plains in the south of the Lebor region.
The commander of the legion of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, when he first entered the Lebor area, he was full of confidence, and when he saw that there was no enemy army appearing for a long time, he smiled and said: "The nobles here will not be a soft egg, they dare not come out after seeing our legions, and they have not sent anyone to intercept us until now." ”
The other legion generals also let out a contemptuous laugh when they heard this, they had also gathered information about the area of Lebor City before arriving, and knew that there was a marquis here with about 10,000 soldiers under his command.
Since Eugen was inconspicuous before, the information they gathered was very limited, only what had happened in the last period of time.
That is, the battle fought between the Longchamp army and the church army, as well as the army of the Wittelsbach family.
Hearing that Eugen defeated a coalition of nearly 100,000 men with an army of 10,000 men, these generals did not believe it at all, and in their opinion this was a fantasy, a joke.
How could 10,000 people fight more than 100,000, unless these 10,000 people are terrible giant monsters.
This was what the commander of the legion said at the time, and the other generals generally agreed to this idea, believing that the news was made up for the sake of bluffing.
Later, the news came out that the city of Lebor had summoned female soldiers, and at this moment, the commanders and generals of the legion were even more fearless.
"Hahaha, a nobleman who uses female soldiers, hiding behind a woman's ass, is a coward at all." The Legion Commander scoffed.
Someone next to him immediately responded with a smile: "Hahaha, yes, of course, female soldiers are also useful, but on another battlefield, that is, ...... in bed"
This sentence was immediately agreed by several generals, and they all smiled tacitly, in the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the status of women was even lower, so these generals naturally looked down on the female soldiers of Lebor City even more.
The commander of the legion said directly: "Haha, I think the nobleman here wants to use female soldiers to send us some warmth, and then beg us to let them go....... Hahaha! ”
